Qualities absolutely necessary for a historian: (1) Imagination. (2) Prejudice. (3) The power of writing your own biography at the same time.
Mary Elizabeth Coleridge
Image
Is this wide world not large enough to fill thee,Nor Nature, nor that deep man's Nature, Art?Are they too thin, too weak and poor to still thee,Thou little heart?
Mary Elizabeth Coleridge
Image
Where is delight? and what are pleasures now?-Moths that a garment fret.The world is turned memorial, crying, ThouShalt not forget!
Mary Elizabeth Coleridge
